my almost 9 month dont want to eat from the spoon

i normally give him the organic food from earth best and i tried also from Gerber .

Everytime i going to feed him he is crying like crazy under crying and screaming i feed him some he sits in a nice high chair with a toy and some toys i give him up there i tried feeding him on my arm but its the same thing.

,i still breast feed him after he eats because he will not stop crying till he is on my breast .

even if he only eats a teeny bit just let him b/c when he gets hungry again he'll let ya know =] he is still little so he needs your milk still but gradually you can start weaning him for when he turns 1 and gets galloon milk =]

thank you for that i give him sometimes from our food but he eats then only a teeny bit ut he likes yogurt when his daddy feeds him .

have you considered he may be teething and his mouth hurts. my son who is now 5 did that, he would not eat from a spoon only a bottle. (stopped breastfeeding at 4months) also something my second son did, was he was getting independent and wanted to fed his self. give him something to fed himself. cut up waffles, etc. lightly toasted ofcourse

My son is 14 months old now and has just learned how to use a fork, working on spoon still. Once he was 8 months old he started putting his hands in his food and trying to feed himself, so i let him. It's messy but he was happy and eating and quickly learned how to get the food in his mouth instead of everywhere else.

My daughter did the same thing, was eating everything i gave her, and then when the tooth starts to come in, she wont eat anything except the bottle. I got her some bitter biscuits for her to chew on and that seems to help with the frustration of wanting to gnaw on something and deal with the pain, but being hungry at the same time. Also i froze some bananna slices and she loves to chew on that. So she gets the nutrition and the pain relief at the same time.
